The Alliance for Substance Abuse Progress (ASAP), on behalf of the Bartholomew County Substance Abuse Advisory and Accountability Committee and Substance Abuse Public Funding Board, is accepting Fall 2026 applications for local opioid settlement funding. The current official funding page states that applications are being accepted from July 31 through September 30, 2026. The public page does not publish a deadline clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, organizations using a 501(c)(3) fiscal agent, 501(c)(19) organizations, county departments, and municipalities. All applicants and projects must serve Bartholomew County and align with National Opioid Settlement Exhibit E. The current public funding page does not state a maximum request amount, total Fall 2026 funding pool, or match requirement.
The local program identifies treatment, prevention, harm reduction, recovery support, and system improvements as eligible project areas. Funded projects receive an award agreement and must submit quarterly and final reports. Applications are reviewed by ASAP and the Substance Abuse Advisory and Accountability Committee before recommendation for distribution.
National Opioid Settlement Exhibit E creates a strong but still conditional healthcare-technology pathway. Approved uses expressly include expanding telehealth for OUD and co-occurring SUD/mental-health treatment, mobile intervention/treatment/recovery services, automated SBIRT technology and ongoing technology costs, hospital bridge-clinic pathways, and EMS connections to treatment. Atlas therefore retains an Opportunity Score of 92/100 and an N9+ Fit of 74/100, conditional. These national approved uses do not by themselves establish that Bartholomew County will reimburse N9+ hardware, platform, implementation, clinical-service, vendor, or subcontract costs; those items must be confirmed against the current local application and award rules before budgeting.
Dr. Miltie LLC is not within the stated direct applicant classes. Any later N9+ or QC Healthcare role should be applicant-led and structured only as a defensible vendor, subcontractor, or implementation component supporting an eligible Bartholomew County applicant. Ordinary ORIGINAL outreach must not introduce or sell N9+.
Source-control note: Atlas reverified the live ASAP funding page and the official linked Exhibit E on September 23, 2026. Because the current public page does not publish the September 30 filing clock time or time zone, a universal award ceiling, a current total pool, or complete local technology/procurement cost rules, those items remain unresolved and Atlas fails closed on them.
